Q4 2026 Biopharma Catalyst Crunch: Late-Stage Readouts and Regulatory Milestones Converge on the Ivonescimab PDUFA Date
October 2026 is dense with clinical and regulatory news.

Scholar Rock resubmitted its apitegromab MAA to the EMA. The next catalysts are ESMO 2026 (Oct 23) and the Nov 14 FDA PDUFA date for ivonescimab, followed by Maritime-1 primary completion in January 2027.

Where sources disagree
ING Group
Both facts record the same metric (shares_outstanding) for ING Group at the identical observation date (2025-12-31). FACT A states 2,902,437,688 shares; FACT B states 2,902 million shares (2,902,000,000). The difference is 437,688 shares (~0.015%). This is a genuine value conflict, though the discrepancy appears to result from FACT B rounding to the nearest million while FACT A provides the precise count.
